Regional Transportation

The MTA provides regional transportation service outside of Genesee County. The initial purpose of this transportation is to assist people moving off of welfare and into the work force by providing transportation to jobs. Due to high employment levels, many employers outside of Genesee County are having difficulty filling positions. The regional transportation service is an attractive benefit that they can offer employees a means of regular transportation to work. In future years, it is anticipated that the amount of service provided will continue to expand as the service becomes more established. The regional transportation service departs from the Downtown Flint Transportation Center and is provided seven days a week to Saginaw, Oakland, Livingston, Washtenaw, Lapeer and Shiawassee Counties.
